Firstly, a word of thanks to Boo-licious for organizing the recent Food Bloggers' Meet, tying in with KLue's RSVP Event held at Sandias, Plaza Damansara.

Secondly, a word of hello to all the other food bloggers that I met there (this way, I'm not leaving out any names!). It was extremely fun to be able to meet up with all of you guys and girls. I didn't take that many photos of the bloggers as most would like to remain anonymous. Of course, there were some bloggers I met for the first time that I recognised instantly as they aren't as shy as the rest of us and have posted photos of themselves before on their blog; notably-KampungBoyCityGal, Lim Mei Yen and Jason.

Sitted at the same table as I was, KampungBoyCityGal were the cutest and probably the youngest (?) couple around!

Ha ha....Yup, this was Precious Pea's Fish (Pescado a la Veracruzana-Lemon Sole in Tomato Salsa). Went over the border to take pics of her food for the night as we both chose different options. Precious Pea swapped food with her hubby, having the best of both worlds!

My chicken (Pollo a la Castellana) was definitely different from the rest, the nuts were missing (check out the pics on the other blogs) as it's suppose to be topped with a rich sauce of nuts, fennel and dried chilli seeds! Maybe they thought I was nutty enough???

My dessert (Postre Helado de Limon-frozen lime cream) actually came without the strawberry and I asked the staff whether they could put one on it so that I could take a photo. They obediently took it back and came back with the complete dessert look.

After dinner, some of us adjourned to The Attic (Jalan Bangkung) for after dinner drinks. Those who showed up were rewarded with a slice of Nigel and Allan's best seller cake, Choc & Cheese (pics not that clear as the lighting was dim at The Attic). True to their name, it was Just Heavenly. Hallelujah! LOL...Thanks Nigel!

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire evening though the food at Sandias was just fair. Well, it could be the fact that they had to serve so many RSVP customers that night. I shan't elaborate more as other have blogged on their experiences for that night. The free flow of Martell definitely liven things and bloggers up more than usual. LOL! By the time this gets out, there could be 30 other bloggers posting on the same event! Ha ha ha...Check out some of these early posts :-

precious pea : ha ha ha....Then you must prepare something from home to feed me as I would have nothing to eat.

jason : Hee hee...yes my sweet little brother!

wonda : It's called Pollo a la Castellana (sauteed and braised quarter chicken topped with a full bodied sauce of nuts, fennel and dried chili seeds) but as you can see, mine didn't came with such toppings!

I must say I enjoyed myself immensely that night, with Nisa in tow. It's because of you guys that she now believes bloggers are normal people though. (Before this, she only knew me, so her evidence 100% to Insane Guy.)

Next time, I'll do what the Martell Girls did and take a pic of everyone and tag it to a name+blog. Otherwise, aiyo how to remember it ALL? ;)
